Canberra Capitals centre Lauren Jackson unlikely to play both WNBL games this weekend in return from knee injury

Canberra Capitals centre Lauren Jackson admits she's unlikely to play both games this weekend as the "stars align" for a push towards the WNBL playoffs.

After playing her first competitive game in 11 months after a serious knee injury, the four-time Olympian is set to miss the trip to north Queensland for Friday night's clash with the top of the table Townsville Fire.
